Shwoo this one was doozy. I will never make it ever again but glad I stuck with it! I got the blocks done easily but had a hard time getting the sections put together. Let me tell you if you are planning on making it, find the Facebook group for Jen Kingwell patterns. I would have done mine totally different if I had that group from the start.

Mine is half done. Gave up, it was just too difficult for me at this time.

watson's mom - weren't the instructions terrible? I totally understand putting it away. I spent about 4 months on it because I had to take long breaks from it. Stressed the heck out of me!

Well done getting your top done!

A lesson in patience for sure. Lovely finish and lessons learned. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png Too bad the instructions were a hindrance but whoo-hoo that you found a group to support one another to the finish.

It turned out so great! Congratulations on sticking with it and getting it done

Congratulations, your persistence paid off. Yes, I wonder how some pattern designers get by with putting out inferior instructions. Aren't they usually tested by a third party or two or three before publishing? Or is there so much pressure to get it done and out the door? I'm glad you found the group for the final push to finish this bright and beautiful quilt.

It is beautiful, and the colors are so bright and cheery. I'm sure you are happy that you stuck with it and finished it.

Beautiful. So happy you were able to finish it.

Your quilt is beyond beautiful and the difficulty level shows great talent. I doubt I would ever try a quilt of this difficulty level. Congratulations on completing this wonder.

That's gorgeous! A great accomplishment!

Jingle 07-28-2021 03:06 PM

It sure turned out gorgeous. Great work on it.

sewbizgirl 07-28-2021 04:40 PM

It's a beauty! And it looks you knew right what you were doing, from start to finish.

This quilt has always intimidated me, as far as making one.

Watson 07-29-2021 12:16 AM

Gorgeous. I follow that FB page but have never had the guts to try one.

You must be thrilled with the results! It's wonderful!

ibex94 07-29-2021 09:21 AM

Such a great choice of colors and your blocks are beautiful! Great job! Thank you for the time saving hint about the fb group, too. If I ever dare to tackle this one, I will follow your advice if fb is still in existence.

Wonderful ………

Teen 08-01-2021 04:25 PM

This turned out fabulous! I have had this project kitted up and ready for over a year…I’ve heard the nightmare stories of this specific pattern. I’ve made many of her patterns with no issues but this one is lacking in inspiration for me…. So glad you finished this beauty…

goldsberry921 08-03-2021 04:36 PM

That is beautiful and vibrant!!!!

Mumto2 08-06-2021 05:38 AM

It’s so beautiful! That’s actually the quilt that drew me back to machine quilting after doing EPP for years. That said I am still afraid to try making it so I greatly admire your perseverance!

Cam's gram 08-06-2021 09:01 AM

Wowzer! Wonderful work!

Jordan 08-07-2021 06:26 AM
